Lets hope for the best. If he has penalty on the cards, then he needs pole position badly n qualify on S tyres in q2 if he feels he has strong pace. We need Kimi min 2nd place on that track if vet has pole.

Let's hope Seb does'nt get penalty pts added to his super license for riding on Pascal's car and taking the steering wheel with him.

I don't think it will happen.
Actually for the crash stroll should get penalty. But donno how he escaped from that incident.

It certainly looks that way. In his post race interview, he said he was shutting down the car (MGU's) while going into the turn and I am suspecting he took his eye's off the road during the shut down and veered right out of his line.

Positivity doesn't win you championships, whining about people being negative makes you blind!
lol ignore the bitter old cows ;-)

I have a feeling both ferraris and the red bulls will finish ahead of the mercs. Lets say the race ends- 1. VET, 2. KIMI, 3. VER, 4. RIC, 5. HAM, 6. BOT. This would allow Vettel to close up to Hamilton. Im hoping for a Hamilton DNF but if that doesn't happen the Red Bulls can help take points off of them.

We are still waiting on a couple of issues with regards to Vettel:

1.) Sebs gearbox issue - IF he needs one, then its grid spot penalties. IF not, whew!....cleared that one.

2.) Sebs ride with Pascal - que 2013 Singapore...Alonso pics up Webber. Webber gets slapped with a 10 place grid spot penalty in the following race...Korean GP. Still pending also.

I want vettel to win here so badly, a hamilton dnf would be the icing on the cake

Was watching the 2001 GP and passing is so hard, the roads are sooo narrow, only the long straight in s2/s3 is where its possible, we need to nail our quali , mercs will fix there derates issue they had so we have to up our game even more.

Horner said red bull would have won even if Ferrari never have issues, so red bull definitely dangerous

doubtful, but Horny is desperate for RB to win a race 'on their own merit'.

i hope its horner just being horner and not true.

I'm really confused, they said ferrari is inspecting the gearbox and if its ok, it'l be assembled in FP3.... uhhh so what will he use in FP1 and FP2? i thought they cant switch out gearboxes at all without a penalty, can he use an old gearbox?

Race gear box will never be used in fp1 & FP2.
It's only in fp3 or quali they will use it.

Regarding mr.horn no need to take his statement seriously. I don't know how could he say we would beaten Ferrari on straight fight ?
Just look at lap times of vet on SS tyres when he's in clean air, they were never matched by race leader mad max on first stint. & On S tyres vet was in traffic to pass other cars. Once he's in free air he was setting FL than DR & Mad max.
Mr horner as usual wants to cook something out of nothing.

Regarding vet gear box, I think Ferrari will be cautious about it. They will assess team pace in fp1,FP2,fp3 sessions n may take decision if penalty. Because this gear box should be used for 3more races apart from Japan.

Ricciardo had much luck this season for Max having all of those reliability problems. If it weren't for those mechanical DNFs, Ric's reputation would've gone way down. Max was always ahead of him when reliability problems struck.
